my ds who is 10 was at and school activity the other day, he had his belongings in a bag he normally only uses for his sport. This bag is special in a way. We lived abroad a couple of years ago and it was a Christmas present costing roughly €60 as it is team merchandise.
Now, at the after school activity, a gild in his class tied one of the straps to a pole without my ds knowing (I have no idea why) so when he went to lift his bag it ripped the strap and broke so is now unusable and he's a bit sad about the bag as well. We would need to go abroad to get another one!
I normally let these things go, accidents happen and my ds is prone to a lot of them himself, but this wasn't an accident and the bag has sentimental value. I feel like writing a note the girls parents to tell them what happened and that it wasn't just any old bag but to be honest, what would it gain? I'm not going to go and buy a new one! But, it's annoying me. Wibu to do this?
